This is the Lizzie*Kate Christmas Mystery SAL for 2013:
I apologise for it not being pressed, I will do it very soon though!
You may have noticed my blog has had a bit of a revamp, it really wasn't intentional. I was trying to tweak a few things and messed it up and ended up deleting all the formatting! That's the last time I try and be clever! I couldn't find a background that I liked so I decided to go fairly plain, but I actually like it a lot. It may well change again if I see something that grabs me!
Those of you that have followed my blog for a while may remember that in 2012 I completed a Henry VIII sampler. I finally got it framed and I gifted it to my Mum for Christmas as she has always loved it and I knew she would appreciate it. She's not usually an emotional person, but she was really overcome when she opened it, which surprised me, but confirmed that I'd made the right decision.
It was hard to get good photo's once it was framed due to the flash but hopefully you can get an idea of what it looks like.
Also, I've got an updated picture of where I'm up to with Pyramid 4 - Ciro Marchetti (HAED). Not masses more done but at least it's something!
I'm slowly catching up with all the blog posts, it seems that the New Year has renewed everyone's passion for blogging, which is wonderful to see! I apologise if I haven't commented on them all. Hopefully once I've caught up I can get into more of routine and comment much more as I know how nice it feels when I get comments!
Thanks for reading!

ReplyDeleteThat's so sweet that your mummy teared up over your gift. She probably understands how much work went into it, and it's truly beautiful. Looks fantastic framed.
